GLIBC error?

[wren]

I'm running archlinux with glibc = 2.3.8 locally. When I install and try to launch distant on ubuntu lts 20.04 (glibc version 2.3.1) I get the following exception:

Caused by:

distant 0.20.0 was compiled on a machine (via Github action) with a newer version of glibc than Ubuntu 20.04 has available. There's a reference to the issue and generating new builds using older Linux.

In the meantime, you can:

1. switch on Ubuntu from the distant build using glibc to the build using musl, which should remove the glibc dependency issue you're running into. musl release binary
2. compile distant on Ubuntu directly, which should then support that version of glibc
